Chloe Bailey is taking control of the conversation surrounding her body instead of letting the internet define it for her. After fans flooded the comments of a recent TikTok post with remarks about her slimmer appearance, the singer stepped in to share what really changed. Bailey explained that the transformation didn’t happen overnight but came from months of dedication and consistent work at the gym.
According to E! News, the discussion began after Bailey posted a dance video for her single “Better Than She Can,” where she showed off a yellow smiley-face swimsuit. When one commenter noticed that she looked like she had lost weight, the 28-year-old singer responded with an honest update about her fitness journey.
“I know!!” Bailey responded. “My weight goes up and down, but I’ve been working out hard since [February]. I’m just grateful I didn’t lose the booty this time lol.”
The playful response comes after years of Chloe Bailey having to address conversations surrounding her appearance. Since rising to fame with her sister Halle Bailey as the duo Chloe x Halle, she has often found herself facing public discussions about her body, fashion choices, and self-confidence.
Earlier this month, Bailey opened up about dealing with that pressure during an appearance on Call Her Daddy, sharing that she and Halle would support each other after seeing hurtful comments online. “It hurts us sometimes,” she said. “We’d see certain comments… and we’d talk to each other like, ‘Oh my gosh, is this true about me?’… We’d have to uplift each other.”
Bailey is not the only celebrity embracing a new approach to fitness. Kelly Rowland recently shared that she has transformed her wellness routine, replacing alcohol with weightlifting as she focuses more on strength and overall health rather than just appearance.
During an appearance on the Women’s Health’s The Huddle podcast, Rowland revealed that she is now “lifting heavier” while adding HIIT, Pilates, boxing, and stretching into her workout routine.
The Grammy-winning singer explained that her fitness goals have evolved as she has gotten older. “In my 20s, I thought strength was cute,” she said. “In my 30s, I said I want to be strong.”
